The expression to write in a value to animate it procedurally, as mentioned in the video is:

#frame/x

(x, representing the value you want to input. Make sure to put in a number. The lower the value, the faster the animation, the higher the value, the slower the animation)

Great❤ I was just looking for a tutorial on that. I like your pace, it makes me want to tweak it as I go rather than just copypasting what you're doing

Great video! Love how to the point this was, and gave me some great ideas of how to approach FX!!

Thank you for this amazing tutorial! I managed to create something really cool looking with this.
For people who don't want the energy ball to be too round: you can add a displace modifier with a noise (or other) texture to the sphere object.

ive been practcing blender over the past maybye month?? although the video is a little fast pace, i understood most of this, its a really good video and very well explained despite how fast it is

Good video. Just wondering would it be possible to make a orb to use in Gamemaker software to make your own games?

I was very excited to try this tutorial, i prewatched it while very tired the other night, and the day after i attempted it after a sorta tough day, my takeaways form this project were slim.

This was a prerecorded video, which he makes multiple cuts around and gives wrong information on a number of spots, leaving you to figure out what exactly he changed.
While he vocalized what nodes he was using, it was often after a cut where he says we need x node and then pops up with 4 nodes in the next frame with them all connected with no explanation.
I loved the concept, and hated the execution.
Room to grow, but for what was a 6m video, turned into 3 hours of work with ~45m of that being troubleshooting the jumble.

TLDR: okay tutorial, hard to follow without many pauses.
